Senate Blocks Democratic Cuba Measure As Trump Signals Action Soon

Trump also referenced Cuban American communities while discussing the issue. He said many had experienced persecution under Cuba’s government and indicated that his administration was monitoring developments closely, Trump said.

In recent days, Trump has described Cuba as a nation “in free fall.”
